CULTURE. — Radishes thrive l)est in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick 

 and tender growth. Sow for very early use in hot-beds during winter and early spring, or later on in sheltered borders, in well 

 manured, deeply-dug and finelyraked si>il i ii not well stimul.ited into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough; sow in 

 drills 10 inches apart, and thin to 2 inche.-- in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. 

 Sow winter varieties in July and August; like ihe turnip, they make the be.st growth in autumn, and must be taken out before 

 severe frost, and stored away in a cool cellar in sand, or a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter; before using put 

 ■in cold water, which adds to their freshness.

 Cardinal Globe. (See cut.) Those who like the crisp little red 

 Radishes that come so early will be pleased with this variety. The 

 Radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a most brilliant car- 

 dinal-red color. It will stand considerable heat; therefore, it is a 

 quick forcer, and the quality is fine, being crisp and tender. It is 

 by far the best variety for forcing, and also does well in open ground, 

 thus making it an extremely valuable and desirable sort for planting 

 in the home garden and for market gardeners' use. Pkt., 5
